Here are the hottest cheerleaders in the world, the girls of "Las Marineritas De Almirante Brown" from the 3rd Division (minor leagues) of the professional Argentine Football League.

This team was so bad that a few years ago they started using "Porritas" (cheerleaders) in their home matches. As all footballers know, American style cheerleaders don't belong in world football, but this club needed a little help in their attendance so they hired these local girls to help. That's right - local neighborhood girls, not models!

Their choreography may need some more work compare to their U.S. counter parts in the NFL, but no one cares about that during their half-time show. The fans are looking at other things....

With 30 days left, here is the main wallpaper for the 19th FIFA Football World Cup - South Africa 2010 from Video Games Blogger. The tournament starts on June 11 and ends on July 11, 2010. The opening match is between the host country South Africa vs Mexico.

The World Cup is bigger than the Summer & Winter Olympics combined. NFL Superbowl, MLB World Series, NBA Finals, etc.....HA! They are all
minor leagues compare to football's World Cup. The World Cup is the
biggest mass media event on planet Earth, and it gets bigger &
bigger every four years. South Africa 2010
will be by far the biggest sports betting event in human history.

This
is the only event in the world that temporarily stops work in many
countries, stops wars, closes school & university classes,
closes hospital in Africa, closes down brothels in Asia, and murders
& suicides are committed in South America because of the
passion of world football!And for 30 days, June 11 - July 11,
2010, planet Earth will be engulf with Football's World Cup fever.
Like it or not.......
